Forester STi is back! (but it's Japan-only)

2011 Subaru Forester tS


Finally, for after three years, the third-generation Subaru Forester finally gets a STi variant (for a limited time), but unfortunately, that thing's for sale only in Japan...

Called the Forester tS (tS as in tuned by STi), this STi-tuned version of the Forester can be a thrilling experience for those who think the Forester S Edition is not their type. Limited to 300 units and its available until March 2011, do you think someone who are lucky enough to feel the rebirth of the Forester STi?

Key Points

1) On Exterior side, the Forester tS is equipped with the tS badge on the grille, STi badge on the back, STi sports muffler, 17-inch STi rims, STi front bumpers, and STi rear bumpers. These exterior features are a sure thing to call this sporty.

2) On the Interior side, the Forester tS offers black Alcantara seats with the STi logo on it, Sports Luminescent Cluster, STi steering wheel, tS side seal plate, sporty shift lever with the STi logo on it, STi engine start stop button colored in red, and a special key cover. This sporty interior is not quite to be called best, but it's fine, I can tell.

3) Other equipments include front strut coil spring, rear damper coil springs, flexible tower bar front, support front, flexible draw stiffener rear, and flexible support rear.

4) Available in four colors; WR Blue Mica, Satin White Pearl, Obsidian Black Pearl, and Steel Silver Metallic.

My Comment: Do you think MotorImage Pilipinas will bring the Forester tS? I think not because this STi-tuned Forester is for Japanese customers only and limited on 300 units available until March 2011.
